Why are you allowed to do this with adopted children? They're piling trauma on top of trauma on that little boy.

How many homes has he been in? In a prior video, they mention that he was in a foster home in China so that's two (give up by his birth parents, Chinese foster parent, then their house, then a few other houses, and now his "forever" family? Until they get sick of him??)

People do place their biological kids with disabilities for adoption. It is definitely something that's allowed.

As a parent of a child with severe special needs, I have to disagree with the idea that many parents' lives are "basically ruined".

What? No. This is not a thing people are just allowed to do. When you have a bio kid with SN, if your life is "ruined", too bad so sad in our society.

Sometimes people put their bio kids in some type of care facility, if they can afford it. It's SUPER expensive to do that though and most can't. But you're still legally and financially responsible for them.

Anyone with an ounce of common sense realizes it's not a good idea to get pregnant right after adopting a child with special needs who doesn't speak your language.

I am blown away by these people. What were they thinking?!

She had a real job. She was a nurse but she lost her job after she attacked a pregnant woman. She pushed a medical cart into her during a fight.

These people are super trashy

But it's never easy to talk about, and the public never ever likes hearing about it.

Yes, I agree. I hope this boy is well/cared for in his forever home.

WTF is wrong with these people.

She says they were gone for two weeks. I wonder who she left him with.

I'm an international adoptee and I have adopted a child from my same country. I agree with these two comments.

Looks like they treated this poor child exactly like a Christmas puppy that the kids grew tired of.

I have never heard of these people until today. I watched a few minutes of a few videos and watching her was like watching a 14-year-old. That is one messed up young woman.

A couple years ago she and her husband raised money from her followers to adopt a little boy from China. They already had three older kids. The adopted son had a lot of trouble adjusting to his new country and home and their actions seem to have made it worse (they continued to travel a lot after he came home, built a new house, and even had a new baby within 2 years of his joining their family). Most people in this realm seem to strongly advise that you "nest" with the kid for at least several months (meaning you basically quarantine yourself in the house) to help him or her adjust but they didn't do any of that.

Anyhow, they just put up a video admitting they sent him back to the adoption agency which finally placed him with a new family after a couple false starts.

WTF, I had no idea you could do this. This poor kid. If you can't do this with a bio kid, why should you be allowed to do it with an adopted kid?

I couldn't watch the video but, for a few seconds! Her newborn baby's name is the worst!

She could have been smacking the kid around. I am glad that instead of abusing the child physically they have rehomed him.

Is it great? No. But my bar for people like this woman is very low. Don't abuse, shake, kill this child and give him to a family that wants him.

Thank you Myka Stauffer for not killing this child.

I'm surprised people are being so sympathetic to the parents. She says in the video that he had "been spending time with different people" since he left their home, which seems code for people trying him out like an experiment.

Passing around a toddler with attachment disorder seems like a HORRIBLE, SELFISH, TRAUMATIZING idea. I feel like it would even be potentially traumatizing for toddlers without RAD. They're too little to understand.

regarding the issue of the duct tape thumb. Seems abusive to do to an internationally adopted toddler with autism and serious attachment issues.

Same. I don't get all the sympathetic responses in here. These people are horrible.

Would she have given up her new baby if it had been born with special needs?
